Was Obama Referring To Yaardua?

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

I was just wondering if Obama was referring to our own Yaardua.Please place ur comment.

referringfinitely was refering to Nigeria, no doubt, lol and Maduekwe led a powerful team to the inauguration while his own budget is in a mess , why did they go to celebrate with respectfully elected Obama while he know how theirs got into power !!!.
